Way back in February, in my solo project, I took a shot of a bud on a tree, and this is the fourth shot in the series showing how it has developed. The previous shot was taken on 29th April, and this was taken just over a week later, after a period of warmth and sunshine, and the difference is remarkable, with these horse chestnut leaves now nicely opening out.
The whole landscape is changing with the rich greens of spring visible everywhere, and with little rain recently the country footpaths have dried out, making me look forward to more countryside excursions.
Just about a week later and you can hardly recognize the bud anymore. a little warmth and a little rain (if you got any) and there you have...leaves.....!!!!!! thank you for following up in a series of pictures.
Thank you Graham, glad you like it.
